BBQ Catering Service
There is nothing quite like the aroma of a slow-smoked BBQ to bring people together. At Harbor Deli Caterers, we take our “BBQ Pit” seriously. Whether you’re hosting a backyard graduation, a corporate summer outing, or a neighborhood block party, we bring the grill-master expertise to you. Our BBQ catering combines traditional slow-and-low smoking techniques with the fresh, high-quality ingredients that have made us a Port Washington landmark since 1997.
🔥 THE HARBOR DELI SMOKEHOUSE DIFFERENCE
We don’t just “grill”—we smoke. Our BBQ menu is built on patience, secret dry rubs, and premium meats:
- House-Smoked Excellence: From our St. Louis Style Ribs to our fall-apart Beef Brisket, our meats are seasoned with our signature "Harbor Rub" and smoked to perfection.
- Variety for Everyone: We offer everything from slow-cooked Pulled Pork to Harbor House Wings in 8 different flavors (including Honey BBQ and Mango Habanero)
- The Perfect Sides: A BBQ is only as good as its sides. We serve up fresh-made Potato Salad, Healthy Slaw, and our famous Mac & Cheese balls.
- Freshly Prepared: Just like our famous breakfast sandwiches, every BBQ item is prepared fresh on-site at our Harbor Deli locations.
THE PITMASTER’S PRIDE
Our most popular spread for serious BBQ lovers.
- Harbor-Smoked BBQ Ribs: Juicy, tender St. Louis ribs with our signature dry rub.
- Slow-Cooked Pulled Pork: Hand-pulled and tossed in our tangy house BBQ sauce.
- BBQ Beef Brisket: Sliced thin and served in its own natural juices.
- Includes: Fresh-baked Cornbread, Coleslaw, and Pit-Style Baked Beans.

Standard BBQ delivery includes your selected meats and sides in high-quality catering trays, ready to serve. We also include heavy-duty plates, napkins, cutlery, and serving utensils. If you need warming racks and sternos to keep the food hot for several hours, just let us know!
Most of our BBQ specialties, like our St. Louis Ribs and Beef Brisket, are slow-smoked for hours at our deli to reach peak tenderness. While we typically deliver these "ready-to-eat," we can provide professional staff for full-service buffet setup and carving for larger events.
For a standard BBQ buffet, we recommend at least two 6-foot tables for the food spread and a separate small area for beverages and paper goods.
Absolutely! We are famous for our "Unlimited" mindset. If you want the Ribs from the Pitmaster's Pride but the Burgers from the Backyard Classics, we can create a custom package that fits your specific cravings and budget.
BBQs don't have to be just for meat-eaters! We offer delicious vegetarian options, including our signature Chopped Salads (with over 30 topping options), Grilled Veggie Skewers, and Corn on the Cob. Many of our smoked meats and sides are also naturally gluten-free.
We are known for our generous "Harbor-sized" portions. Generally, we recommend a mix of 2-3 meats and 3 sides for a full meal. Our catering specialists are experts at calculating quantities so you never run out, but also don't end up with too much leftover.
Summer weekends and holidays (Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day) fill up months in advance. For standard weekend parties, we recommend booking at least 2–3 weeks out. However, for smaller weekday gatherings, we can often accommodate orders with 48–72 hours' notice.
The BBQ must go on! Since our meats are slow-smoked in our professional kitchens, the weather doesn't stop us from cooking. If your outdoor event is rained out, we can easily pivot to an indoor setup at your location or package everything for easy pickup.
For large BBQ events, we typically require a deposit to secure your date on our calendar. Final headcount and balance are usually due 3–5 days before the event.
Dates for the summer season fill up fast! Contact our BBQ catering specialist to customize your menu.
